The final 27 players are milling in and taking their seats behind a half-glass, half-wall partition, normally reserved for high-limit players. We'll be kicking things off in just a few minutes. These 27 players will be playing down to a final table of nine, also when the money starts.
Though there are no huge names among these contestants, Circuit regular Dean Schultz is in, although short-stacked, as is Adam Friedman, immortalized for a filmed WSOP Main Event outburst a couple of years back. The biggest online player remaining is top-ranked Bryan "Squirrely1" Sapp.
